Japanese players think it is a good deal. The NPC lost an armed merchant ship, but they were able to annihilate seven warships. Among these seven warships were three large cruisers. As long as they can win this battle, they can shorten the gap with the Russian player fleet.
.
Japanese players already know about the Cam Ranh Bay fleet's participation in the war. They are under great pressure facing three new warships. One of the enemy's teams is an Invincible-class battlecruiser. As long as they can annihilate this warship, it will be a big victory. Because of the invincibility
The battlecruisers were fast and powerful. Fujiwara Aita arranged for four cruisers and six destroyers to ambush in the west in advance, and issued an order to stop the enemy's reconnaissance fleet no matter what.
After the third battle group led by Zhao Wenxi sank the Japanese armed merchant ship, they immediately turned around and fled to the southwest, with a large number of enemy warships pursuing them. After traveling for about ten nautical miles, ten enemy warships ambush appeared not far from the Invincible-class battlecruiser.
, firing at the invincible battlecruiser desperately.
Zhao Wenxi did not panic at all, and immediately ordered to turn to the east to distance himself. The British officer on the flagship immediately ordered to fire. The 305mm triple artillery on the battlecruiser Zhao Yun began to roar, aiming at the four enemy cruisers and firing.
Two other armored cruisers also opened fire at the same time.
The Zhao Yun opened the distance and got out of the enemy's range. Relying on the range advantage of the large-caliber artillery, with the cooperation of two armored cruisers, it quickly sank an enemy cruiser. During the battle, a Japanese artillery shell
It fell on the deck of the cruiser Sun Wu, and the cruiser Sun Wu was slightly injured.
Zhao Wenxi ordered to sail eastward at full speed to break away from the battle. The Japanese showed excitement when they discovered that the warships of the third team were heading east, because the Japanese NPC fleet was to the east. The third team had no battleships, and seven warships were close to the Japanese NPC fleet. It was absolutely
It's the wolf entering the tiger's mouth.
The Japanese player warships were chasing after the third team. After traveling for about 20 nautical miles, the third team suddenly stopped escaping. It was not far from the Japanese NPC fleet. Fujiwara Aita believed that the third team did not dare to continue driving because of the discovery.
He joined the Japanese NPC fleet and led the Japanese player fleet to approach at full speed.
The battlecruiser Zhao Yun suddenly turned around and fiercely rushed towards the armored cruiser "Alfa" with Fujiwara Aita as the flagship. Wu Qi and Sun Wu were closely guarding both sides. Four Russian destroyers suddenly appeared at this moment.
With courage, they launched torpedoes at the armored cruiser "Alfa" one after another.
The Zhao Yun was at a ninety-degree angle with the Japanese player's cruiser fleet, giving up its own speed advantage and using its firepower to the fullest. Fujiwara Aita commanded all the player cruisers to concentrate their firepower and ordered an all-out attack on the Zhao Yun battlecruiser. After a while, the Zhao Yun deck
It caught fire after being shot.
Before Fujiwara Aita had time to be happy, soon the NPC responsible for the lookout on his warship ran over in a panic and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is an enemy fleet in the west, and... there is also a fleet in the east."
Fujiwara Aida was shocked. He immediately ordered a retreat to the north, but the Zhao Yun, which had the advantages of speed and armor, was entangled like crazy. How could the Japanese player's old cruiser easily escape from the battlefield? After a while, the fleet from the east took the lead in joining the battle.
It was a cruiser formation with the battlecruiser Ma Chao as its flagship, and it cooperated with the Zhao Yun to pursue the Japanese player fleet.
The second team came from the west. Liu Mazi stood on the deck of the Qin Shihuang and rammed into the Japanese player fleet. The Qin Shihuang was not as advanced as the dreadnought Han Wudi, but it was the flagship of the Japanese in history.
The combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Japanese player fleet. After the second fleet started attacking from the side, the Japanese fleet quickly lost four destroyers. The remaining ships fled north in a hurry.
Japanese players are very cunning. They initially received only 35 warships and eight cruisers to participate in the war. After May, some Japanese players spent high prices to purchase warships from other countries, and the number of cruisers suddenly increased to 20.
, only two ships less than the Russians. In terms of quality, it is even higher than the Russian player fleet.
Fujiwara Aita just wanted to ambush the Russians and use the armed merchant ships sent by NPCs as bait to destroy the Russian reconnaissance fleet. However, he never expected that the enemy would actually ambush his player fleet. What was even more exaggerated was that there was a
A team dares to come from the direction of the Japanese NPC in the east.
The Japanese player fleet fled all the way north. However, due to the lack of speed advantage, two armored cruisers were quickly sunk by the Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. Fujiwara Aita can only place his hopes on the NPC fleet now, where he was surrounded
It's not far from the NPC fleet. The NPC fleet should come to support when they hear the sound of cannons.
Fujiwara Aida's guess was correct. The Japanese NPC fleet had discovered that a battle was taking place in the east, and it was earlier than he expected. When Chen Shaokuan sent the fourth team to reinforce the third team from the east, he was thrillingly not far away from the Japanese NPC fleet.
Passing from a distance, the Japanese NPC fleet had already discovered it.
Togo Heihachiro sent warships to support, but he did not send the main fleet, only the second fleet headed by the Izumo. This is not a command problem of Togo Heihachiro. Now the main forces of the two sides have not yet started a decisive battle, and the only ones who appear in the west are
In the small-scale conflict between the alien teams, he thought it was enough to send the second team.
On the side of the player fleet commanded by Chen Shaokuan, the fourth team supported the pursuit of the third team. The first team commanded by Chen Shaokuan quickly appeared behind the fourth team. However, the first team did not follow the pursuit, but instead used Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to pursue the player's fleet.
The ship took up a combat posture as the flagship, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese reinforcement fleet.
Chen Hao was also sweating in his heart. If the main fleet of Japanese NPCs came over, his dreadnoughts would probably be destroyed. When he saw that the Japanese flagship was the Izumo, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was not the case for the Japanese in history.
The main combat ships of the third battle group are cruisers, and the Han Wudi, with the cooperation of ten Russian cruisers, is enough to compete with it.
If the Japanese NPC fleet continues to increase its troops, Rozdvinsky will send warships for reinforcements as long as he is not a fool. This battle will not be lost no matter how hard it is fought. The Japanese player fleet is pursued northward by the second, third, and fourth teams.
, most of them will suffer heavy losses. Without the player fleet in Cam Ranh Bay and the combined fleet composed of Russian players, they can fully support the Russian NPC fleet and change the outcome of the Tsushima naval battle. It should be no problem.
Arshavin next to Chen Hao glanced at Chen Shaokuan, who was commanding the battle, with an envious look on his face. The well-known NPC is awesome! Chen Shaokuan's naval stunts are serial traps. After detecting the information, he can set up clever traps.
The enemy suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese player fleet was deceived by this stunt. (To be continued...)
